Chapter 368: Give back to the other in his way

Prince Hotu wields his scimitar desperately and fights to the death!

The 500 people who rushed with him had already lost thirty percent, but none of them retreated, and they were all fighting regardless of life and death. I didn't have any other thoughts, I just wanted to kill all the Han warriors in front of me who were wearing the armor of the cowardly Xue Army and holding short guns!

In the night, the moonlight flowed, illuminating this battlefield hazy. The three armored soldiers commanded by Zhang Kai were not afraid in the face of the Mongolian iron cavalry, even if the formation was scattered, they still fought to the death, and refused to retreat even half a step. The Eight Banners on both wings also reacted quickly, the infantry bows in their hands quickly opened and closed, and sharp arrows flew out like raindrops towards the Mongols on their horses. Hundreds of people were swept off the war horses in an instant!

At this time, the Mongol generals on the nearby hills also rushed down. They did not carry horses when they went up the mountain, and now they only came to reinforce on foot, and did not rush to the main battle group, but fought with the Jurchen Eight Banners on the right flank of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

On the other side of the river, the dull sound of drums and trumpets is getting louder and louder. The Iron Cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Eight Banners of the Brigade all rushed to the shallow waters.

And at the core of the battlefield, the soldiers of both armies were already red-eyed, wielding their respective blades to slash and stab wildly. No one refuses to take half a step back, and on the bank of Zhuang Shui, a piece of flesh and blood flies!

In this hellish scene, Zhang Kai hissed and shouted: "Kill all these Mongols!" Even if we all end up together, we have also made great contributions, and above the heavenly court, we will have our own bliss forever! ”

Hearing this shout, these Northern Expeditionary Army armor soldiers who had seen miracles on Ganghwa Island, had been brainwashed for several years, and had been knighted, and their eyes were even more blood-red.

Live to make meritorious contributions. Own grange serfs!

Died in battle and ascended to heaven, in the fairy kingdom. Bliss!

No matter how barbaric and backward the feudal serfdom practiced by the traitor Chen Da was, it could stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers to the greatest extent at the moment.

And no matter how evil the brainwashing techniques of the Heavenly Daoist Sect and the Great Righteous Instructor are. At present, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army are always afraid of death.

On the one hand, there is great material stimulation, on the other hand, there is the spiritual anesthesia of heavenly bliss, and there is the hatred of ultra-nationalism. With three joint efforts, Chen Dexing's samurai on the battlefield can only be described as furious and fearless.

Chen Dexing has used all the methods that can be used to motivate soldiers to fight to the extreme! Add to that the intense training that only modern armies can withstand and the best armament in the 13th century. has turned the Northern Expeditionary Army into the most formidable killing machine of this era, there is no one!

It was the palace tent soldiers of King Tachar Khan, who were also forced to retreat by their crazy battles.

Moreover, the cavalry division of the Northern Expeditionary Army plus several Eight Banners Auxiliary Brigade. It also has a considerable advantage in numbers. As more and more of the Northern Expeditionary Army's heavy cavalry and Eight Banners soldiers crossed the river to join the war group. The scales of victory had fallen sharply to the side of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

These people, these people are really Han Chinese!? How is it different from what I encountered before?

Prince Huotu's heart was full of shock, he only knew that Chen Dexing's Northern Expedition was powerful in firearms and navy, and he never knew that their hand-to-hand combat was so powerful - the Han people could actually overwhelm the Mongol warriors in hand-to-hand combat!

The Mongols on the battlefield were constantly stabbed and slashed by the crazy Han warriors, or shot off their horses by the divine shooting of the Eight Banners, or simply turned their heads and fled from this terrible Shura Hell!

The Mongols who were still fighting to the death became fewer and fewer, and all of them gathered around Hotu. and fought and retreated, and did not dare to retreat to the low hill on the edge of the water. Instead, he bypassed the nameless village directly, took the remnants of the two thousand people, and disappeared into the vast night.

The first phase of this later named "Battle of Zhuangshui" came to an end, and the Northern Expeditionary Army won a complete victory!

But that's just a good start!

……

When the sky is bright. About thirty miles northwest of Zhuangshui Shoal, a marching procession with no edge in sight was marching on the road between the mountains and forests. A team of about 200 men stood on a hillside just a hill away from the army, led by a tall and strong man. It is very eye-catching among the crowd, it is Chen Daxian who descended from the sky. Behind him were several important figures of the Northern Expeditionary Army, as well as Yang Akang, the old Tartar of the local snake here in Liaodong.

At this time, Chen Dexing did not know that his cavalry division had already taken the lead on the Zhuangshui front. But where is the big war going to break out. But he already knew it in his heart. Through his telescope, he could already see the Mongol army marching southwest over the wilderness.

The generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army present, including the old Tartar Yang Akang, also had a telescope in their hands, and they could clearly see the enemy brigade thirty or forty miles away when they stood on a high place. All of this time they are carefully observing the enemy in the distance.

For the terrain here in the Liaodong Peninsula, Yang Akang is the most familiar, he put down the binoculars, there was a trace of solemnity in his expression, raised the horsewhip and pointed to the position of Zhuang Shui and said: "King, the river is called Zhuang Shui, there is a mountain forest in the west of Zhuang Shui called Guanhai Ridge, according to legend, Tang Taizong was stationed here when he conquered Goguryeo, there was a village called Xiaojiazhai before Guanhai Ridge, and the remnants of the Xiao clan of the Xi people originally lived there, and the tribe was slaughtered in the year when the Mongols entered Liaodong. ”

Chen Dexing asked, "Can Guanhailin and Xiaojiazhai be guarded?" ”

Yang Akang said: "You can defend, but the two territories are not big, and you can't put big soldiers." ”

Chen Dexing raised the binoculars and looked in the direction of Yang Akang's finger, and saw the outline of the mountains, forests and villages, which were indeed not very large, and could only be used as a support point on the battlefield, but they were still extremely valuable. Among them, the value of Guanhailin is particularly high, because its trend is narrow and long, like a courtyard wall, if it is occupied, it can cover the dispatch of the rear army.

At this moment, a staff officer galloped over and handed a military report he had just received to Zhang Xizai, who glanced at it twice, and then arched his hand at Chen Dexing and said: "King, the cavalry division has reported success, they defeated the 2 thousand-man teams led by the Mongolian prince Huotu on the west bank of the Zhuang River, and beheaded more than 881 levels!" ”

"Decapitate Class 881? So much? Chen Dexing was stunned for a moment, "The cavalry division is only 1,500 people!" ”

"There are also 8 Eight Banners Zuo Team participating in the battle." Zhang Xizai said with a smile, "In this battle, our side was killed and seriously wounded, but only 328 people were seriously wounded, of which 163 were lost by the cavalry division. ”

Chen Dexing nodded heavily: "Good fight!" Wang Lufei can record a great merit, and the assistant leaders who participate in the war must also be rewarded for meritorious service, and the biggest is medium merit. ”

Great merit is not easy to obtain, and in the merit system of the Northern Expeditionary Army, it is not a great victory, and only the generals who command the operation can get it.

Lu Xihu thought about it and said: "Big brother, now Guanhailing, Xiaojiazhai and Zhuangshui should all be in our hands, so we can win a big victory if we keep it like this!" ”

Chen Dexing shook his head: "Ta Cha'er can also turn around and run west, go to Hongshui, Fuzhou and go south to meet Naiyan, although Gaoli can only give up, but Liaodong still has to fight." I mean, it's still a decisive battle east of Zhuangshui! ”

Lu Evil Tiger nodded: "I'm afraid that Ta Cha'er will not will." ”

Chen Dexing said: "You can send an envoy to fight and fight to the death in the west of Guanhailing!" ”

"Give up the benefits of Guanhailing and Zhuangshui?" Land Rover and Monk Liu exclaimed at the same time.

"That's right! Only by abandoning the geographical advantage can we seek war! Otherwise, how would Tachar dare to fight? Chen Dexing said confidently, "Our army's combat strength is far superior to the enemy, and even a dignified array can be won!" Yang Akang, let your son go to the enemy camp again, and agree to a decisive battle in the plain west of Guanhailing! ”

……

"...... west of Guanhailing"

When Yang Aguo arrived in front of Tachar's army, it was already the afternoon of the same day, and Tachar's 30,000-strong army had set camp 20 miles east of Zhuangshui.

"This Chen Dexing has a lot of appetite!" This time, Tachar did not meet Yang Aguo in person, but discussed with a few confidants next to Mu Tu.

After Hotu's defeat and retreat, Tachar and his generals took a high look at the Northern Expeditionary Army's combat strength. They don't think they can defeat Chen Dexing, who is holding on to the danger. Therefore, there was a controversy over whether it was a war.

"King Khan, if you fight on the plain west of Guanhailing, you should still have a chance of winning."

A thousand household officials under the command of King Tachar Khan said loudly: "Fight on the plain, we have the advantage of cavalry!" Moreover, Mr. Guo also brought a lot of bed crossbows and large bronze guns, and the benefits of Chen Thief's firearms could also be offset. ”

Prince Hotu just shook his head when he heard this: "I can't beat it...... The soldiers of the Chen thief are too fierce, they are not afraid of death, and the fighting skills are not under the Mongols. It's hard for us to resist without firearms! ”

Tachar frowned deeply, if he escaped now, then Goryeo would not think about it! Moreover, the Han army of Hong Fuyuan's troops and a large number of baggage that followed him had to be abandoned, and only by leaving lightly could they be sure to get rid of the pursuit of the Eight Banners.

But the war ...... He knows what Hotu is capable of! Among the warriors of the Ulus, you can definitely rank in the top three! He said that Chen Dexing's soldiers were hard ideas, so most of them would be very difficult to deal with!

Tachar set his sights on Liu Xiaoyuan and Guo Shoujing. Liu Xiaoyuan frowned, as if he had been thinking hard: "King Khan, it's not that there is no chance...... Chen Thief has a flaw in our hands! ”

"Flaws?" Tachar shook her head, "Mrs. Chen? What's the use? Chen Dexing doesn't care about this adoptive mother at all! ”

"Actually, it's not that I don't care," Liu Xiaoyuan smiled, "but I can tell the difference...... If he really didn't care, he wouldn't let Lin Yan go on Jianghua Island that day. ”

Ta Char frowned: "The meaning of appeasement is to use Mrs. Chen to blackmail ......"

Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "It's not to coerce, but to take Mrs. Chen's Yi Ashulu in charge." ”

"For Ashuru?" Tachar shook his head, puzzled.

"Before the change of people, Chen Dexing will most likely come to greet him, which is the opportunity for us to get rid of it!"

"Get rid of him...... With what? Tachar asked.

"Flying Rocket!" (To be continued......)
